Doomsday Coalition

Speaking for the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) in 1994, the East Antrim MP said a formal proposal by the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) to murder and expel Catholics from Northern Ireland was a “very valuable return to reality,” and that it showed that “some loyalists are looking ahead and contemplating what needs to be done to maintain our separate Ulster identity.”

Wilson’s comments were in response to the UDA’s so-called “Doomsday” plan which called for the establishment of “an ethnic Protestant Homeland” through the expulsion, murder and internment of Northern Ireland’s Catholic population.

It’s not the only time Wilson has publicly endorsed ethnically divisive views.
